New ORLEANS, June 26.-The follow.
ing note from Mr.. Davis was published
this morning:
BEAUvo1R, Miss, June "a.
To the Managing Editor of the New
Orleans Picayune-Dear sir: In your
issue of this morning there is copied from
the Chicago Inter. Ocean what purports to
be a letter written by me to Col. P.
Howe, Danville, ILL.,, from Beauvoir,
Miss, June 20. The letter above de.
scribed is barefaced forgery, the author
of which did not qualify himself for his
fraudulent purpose by learning from per.
sons in the neighborhood of Danville,
from which place it appears he wrote,
such facts as might have enabled him to
make his fiction less palpably incredible.
Please give this place in your next issue
and send marked copy to the Inter. Ocean,
that the imposition practiced upon it
may be exposed where it was put in cir
culation. Yours respectfully.
JEFFERSON DAVIS.
Mr.. Davis stated in his informal con.
versation with representative of the
Picayune, and not for publication, that
the views expressed in this spurious let
ter are precisely the reverse of those
actually entertained by him. The troops
in the Union army were all mustered
into the Federal service. The States, as
such, had no troops in the war, and con.
sequently all military stores and trophies
captured became the property of the
General Government and subject to con.
troll and at the disposition Of Congress
only. Confederate flags had from time
to time been returned to Southern States
by Northern Legislatures and various
military associations. There was in
reality no authority under law for these
acts of courtesy, but the matter was not
considered Of material Importance, and
the question was never raised until the
issuance of the recent order by Mr..
Cleveland. Mr.. Davis declares that he
had resisted all attempts of newspaper
men to interview him on this subject,
and he would have remained silent but
for this remarkable and unique swindle,
which be denounced over and over in
general and in detail as false in every
resnect

CHICAGO, June 23.-An Inter- Ocean
special from Danville Ills, says: The
following letter was received to-day:

P. Howard, DanvilIe, ILL.,, Dear Sir I'm
answer to your letter of request by the
Danville Farmers and Mechanics In.
stitute that should deliver an address
at its fair, reply, as I did last year ::
Some years ago I delivered an address at
the WinDebago county fair, and was
received with great courtesy. There l
was among friends, for my memory went
back to the months of June, July and
August, 1882, when as lieutenant upon
the staff of Colonel Zachariah Taylor I
was stationed at Prairie Du Chen, or
Fort Crawford, as it was then known,
and during the memorable and historical
Black Hawk war it was my good fortune
to help in protecting the settlers of that
country whose descendants spoke to at
Rockford. l can not come to Illinois
this year.
Thanking the association through you,
l have only to say, aa l said last Sep.
UoIuoCl III du OPSu lct1e1 w SoloH0A - .
Sharr, of Baltimore, that I deny the
charges made against me by General
William T. Sherman, in which be says I
was foremost in encouraging the late war
I say to you, my dear colonel, that / did all
in my power to prevent the late war, and
that never looked for nor aspirad to the
post of chief executive of the Confederate
States.
1 may say that the order of the war
department to return the captured flags
to the late Confederate States was vic.
lation of all known military precedents.
You will find in my history of the late
war that there were but 26 regiments of
regular troops in the army of the north,
and of total of $50 confederate flags
captured, it is questionable if these 26
regiments captured so. The flags were
captured by the volunteer army of the
north and belong to the several States,
and have no right to be in the National
Capital. Respectfully yours,
JEFFERSON DAVIS.

One Hundred Cutters.

Gay & Son, corner of Clinton and Jeiier-
son streets, have commenced to sell their
whole outfit of carriages and buggies at a
great reduction. These vehicles are all
hand made and warranted. They will out
wear and need less repairing than any other
class of buggies or carriages made. The
season is pretty well advanced, but the OPP
FORTUNES for delightful driving are at their
best. Every family should have something
to add comfort and pleasure to their lot, and
nothing is more fitting than buggy drawn
by good roadsters. Gay " Son have very
large assortment to select from. one OF
their reasons for selling out so cheap, IS to
make room for the largest line OF cutters
this county has ever had-every one OF
which will be of the latest sty lie and of their
own manufacture.

Macllesney

Says he hasn't the largest stock OF goods in
the state of Illinois, but he can and does sell
as cheap as any house in Ottawa, and on
some lines of goods he undersells all of them
In underwear and hosiery he can please
everyone and at the lowest Of figures. HIS
opening last Thursday, of his fifth year OF
business in this city, WAS highly successful.
However, several lines of goods which he
had ordered for his opening did not arrive
and they will be placed on sale next week
Mr.. Machesney has established a trade in
this vicinity, and he says his business Is In
creasing in fattering manner. Prices as
low as the lowest, and goods always as rep
resented, are the methods upon which he
relies to keep up the reputation he has
earned, and keep his trade increasing. Look
out for the special lines of goods next week,
1t will pay you 10 examine them whether
you intend purchasing or not. Drop in and
see them.

On Wednesday last, in the Superior Court
of Cook county, Mrs. Judge 7. Lyle Dickey
was made party defendant to an action
brought by Judge Dickey's children 10y n
former wife, to-wit j. j. Dickey of Omaha,
Mrs. Wallace of this city, Charles II. Dickey
and Mrs Virginia Wallace, of Hawaii, Sand
witch Islands, to set aside the will made by
the late Justice, by which he devised all of
his property to his widow As Mrs Dickey
is about to remove to Maryland, they also
ask An Injunction to restrain her from re-
moving the property. The children state, in
their bill, that the purported will of their
father does not represent in any respect his
intentions toward them in the disposition OF
his property that the will was made at a
time when he was too i'll to properly appre'
cate the injustice he was doing them, and
that Mrs. Dckey used undue influence in
securing the instrument in the shape it was
executed. The amount in controversy is
about 100000 of notes, bonds, and claims
against the towns of Usage and Bruce, in
this county. and Evans (Wenona), in Mar
